About us

More than just a training venue

Over the past 20 years the ETCV has evolved from a simple Edinburgh training venue into a versatile hub that hosts conferences, exams, mediations and much more.

Experience you can trust

Two decades in the heart of Edinburgh

Purchased by Michael Glaire in 2004, the Edinburgh Training and Conference Venue has been a cornerstone of the city’s event scene ever since. Through years of hands-on experience, we have learned what it takes to deliver seamless and successful events, so you do not have to learn the hard way.

With over 70 years of combined experience, our team is passionate about bringing events to life. Since opening our doors we have been dedicated to delivering exceptional experiences for every client, because we genuinely love what we do and the people we work with.

Our motto, “if we can, we will,” is more than just words — it’s the foundation of everything we do. Let’s create something amazing together.
